Any steak sauce or gravies that are really good? I recently obtained some steak... they were on sale, cheaper than chicken!

Here is some let me know what you think?

Steak Sauce

2 Tablespoons unsalted butter

1 large onion, coarsely chopped

3 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped

2 cups canned plum tomatoes and juices, puréed

2 cups water

1/4 cup ketchup

1/4 cup red wine vinegar

2 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

2 Tablespoons dark brown sugar

2 Tablespoons honey

1/4 cup molasses

1 Tablespoon Dijon mustard

3 Tablespoons ancho chile powder

2 chipotle chiles, canned

Salt and freshly ground pepper

Heat the butter over medium heat in a heavy-bottomed medium sized saucepan. Add the onions and garlic and cook until translucent, 3-4 minutes. Add the tomatoes and water and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients and simmer for an additional 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Transfer the mixture to a food processor and purée until smooth, season with salt and pepper to taste. Pour into a bowl and allow to cool at room temperature. Will keep for 1 week in the refrigerator stored in a tightly sealed container.

Well, call me a progressive. There are very few foods that I do not believe can be enhanced by coating in some sort of a sauce. I don't care if it's a steak sauce, a BBQ sauce, a hollandaise sauce a syrup or a mustard sauce...there's always something you can put on top of a dish to make it better.

On steaks? I love A1. I prefer Lea & Perrins. I find myself put off by the homemade sauces that taste nothing like the bottled steak sauces.
